Kim Kardashian And Kanye West Hire Surrogate

LOS ANGELES, CA — A woman has signed on for the low-pressure job of being Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West's surrogate, it was reported Thursday.

The famous couple has two children, 4-year-old daughter North and 18-month-old son Saint, but they had always said they wanted more than two children. However, Kardashian West suffered from placenta accreta during her last pregnancy, according to People Magazine. The condition made it dangerous for her to carry another child, doctors warned. Placenta accreta occurs when the placenta grows into the wall of the womb, preventing it from easily detaching when the baby is born.

Kardashian West described the ordeal on her blog.

“My mom was crying; she had never seen anything like this before. My delivery was fairly easy, but then going through that—it was the most painful experience of my life! They gave me a second epidural but we were racing against time, so I just had to deal,” she wrote.

The couple, who wed in May 2014, are already parents have been through a challenging time over the last year with West's hospitalization and Kardashian West being robbed at gunpoint in her Paris hotel room during Paris Fashion Week.

Kardashian West, 36, said the robbery only made her want to grow her family even more. The mother of two began considering a surrogate after two doctors told her it would be unsafe for her to get pregnant again. She also spoke to a mother who used a surrogate in addition to giving birth herself to talk about her fear of not loving the child the same.
